The objective of the present study is to investigate whether home-based exercise training with telemonitoring guidance results in improved long-term physical fitness and higher activity levels than regular centre-based exercise training in patients…
Primairy objectives:1.To investigate whether a non-invasive imaging guided strategy (either CTA or CMR) early in the diagnostic process reduces the number of patients with at least one ICA during the initial admission as compared to routine clinical…
The objectives of this study in STEMI patients are as follows:Primary objectives: - To investigate the kinetics of AGEs in the acute phase of STEMI by repeated measurements with the AGE reader® through skin AF, as well as by determining serum AGEs…
To assess the circadian variation of cardiac troponins in individuals without any evidence of active cardiovascular disease.
The main objective of this study is to explore two novel MRI techniques to characterize myocardial properties that are expected to be useful for the diagnosis of various forms of cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, we will explore whether different stages…
To examine the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning on exercise-induced cTn elevations and indices of cardiac function.
The feasibility of direct-detection of fibrotic tissue will be assessed in patients with a healed myocardial infarction and in patients with cardiomyopathy using LGE as reference standard.
1) To demonstrate an elevated troponin concentration before exercise and a rise of troponin after exercise in both pre-clinical HCM mutation carriers and HCM patients with the hypertrophic phenotype, 2) To evaluate the troponin rise in relation to…
To determine whether perioperative myocardial ischemia is associated with adverse outcome in patients scheduled for major abdominal surgery.
We hypothesised that cardiovascular changes already exist in children with cystic fibrosis compared with healthy control children. Therefore, we will evaluate the cardiovascular system in a group of children with cystic fibrosis compared with…
Objective of this study is to determine (1) whether mindfulness training has an additional clinical and psychological effect to standard care, and (2) whether offering mindfulness training is a cost-effective intervention, in adult patients with…
To assess cardiovascular structure and function, physical capacity and traditional CVD risk factors in i) physical active subject with MI and ii) physical active subjects without MI.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether glucagon-mediated activation of the calcineurin-pathway is associated with LVH in severely insulin-resistant diabetic subjects.
To assess the suitability of the (HR)2 programme in the Dutch setting and compare the efficiency of the (HR)2 programme with traditional cardiac rehabilitation in the Netherlands.
